U kno when i started getting involved with pokemon, there was no such thing as a "pichu"... not sure y they decided to go back and make him, except for the obvious cash grab...
Fox and falco: their blasters function differently, their up b’s go different distances, and their shines are active in different places Villager and Isabelle: they have different side and down b’s, different nairs, and villager can wall jump (for some reason) Pikachu and pichu: one is busted and the other is *cute af*
I think it’s also important when comparing fair’s, pichu’s hitbox is on his entire body while pikachu’s is only on his head and not his whole body. You can also say the same about Dair
Thinking about it, their differences really make sense. Pikachu is able to control his electricity more easily, but Pichu isn't. Since the latter can't absorb and hold too much at once, he always let's out much more. Pichu is basically Pikachu before he put limiters on himself. Due to this, Pichu has more electricity in attacks (therefore he's much stronger), but damages himself in the process.
I mean yes I know. With Marth you get more of a risk reward factor. Also, if you get the marth combos setups and grind, HE IS BUSTED. He can kill you from zero and and stuff. His dancing blade is also amazing if mastered
As a Pikachu main, there are a TON of noticeable differences when playing between the two. Pikachu has much more combo capability, while also having more BS juggles. Pikachu's up throw down special combo is easier to pull off vs Pichu's, due to the fact that Pikachu's is slightly slower, but doesn't affect the actual combo. I have also noticed that Pichu gets Pineappled with his side special more than Pikachu's, maybe that's just bad luck, I dunno. For aerials, Pichu's fair and dair are easier to hit, and do more damage, but Pikachu's fair is easier to combo over and over again for a cheeky thirty percent. Pikachu has a MUCH better nair, Pichu's doesn't do as much damage, is a single hit, and looks worse. (Not that that affects the gameplay, just sayin.) It works for Pichu, only because of the self damaging. He needs a few moves that don't kill him slowly. I find Pikachu easier to play as, more consistent, and better in the combo department. Pichu kills much earlier, has slightly more powerful and fast specials, or any electric attack, actually, and is harder to play against. If I had to pick, well, like I said, I'm a Pikachu main, so Pikachu, but Pichu is no slouch. If you want to main one of them, here is my input. You like powerful attacks, while still being a quick character? Pichu is for you. You like characters that are good all around, plus a nasty combo game, but not Mario since he's too generic for you? Pikachu.
Nice, thanks! In terms of frame delay between the moment you input an attack and it's effective against the enemy, is there a particularly noticeable difference, if I may ask?
Dude you’re seriously underrating Pichu’s combo game. He literally has backair dragdown loops that can rack up like 90 percent??? Busted. And downthrow, Downtilt, uptilt, and nair are all insane combo starters. Stop beating up on my child.
One thing I like to point out is that Pikachu and Pichu's UpBs are based off entirely different moves from their original contexts and thus are named differently. Pikachu's UpB is "Quick Attack", while Pichu's UpB is "Agility".
When it comes to characters that carry over a lot of traits from another, I feel whoever or not they get a "pass" on it depends entirely on the character. For this reason, I'm actually cool with Pichu having plenty taken from Pikachu because, well, it kinda makes sense since Pichu is literally just a baby Pikachu. It's when you get cases like Ganondorf that I draw the line because for one, Ganondorf is the main villain of Zelda and secondly, what does he even have in common with Captain Falcon? Pretty much nothing other than them being Nintendo characters. Plus, if you've played any Zelda game with Ganondorf as the main villain, you'd know just how much the man has to offer in terms of a unique moveset. Pichu though? Nah, I'm cool with it, sure it would be nice to see him get his own moveset but as he is? It's fine.
Ganondorf was barely put into melee, the only reason he made it was because his proportions were similar to captain falcon, so they copied his moves onto Ganondorf.
It's weird, because on paper they sound super similar but you play them completely different. I like both, I'm better with Pikachu but Pichu's aggressive, all or nothing, rage playstyle is fun, like a tiny Lucario that can give itself aura.
I’d love to see a series where someone takes 2 similar characters and gives them points depending on whose move is better. Like a point for whoever has the better Forward Smash, Up Air and so on
@@Cream12345Ice Pichu is good but not like top tier like people used to think because the nerfs did quite a bit. Pikachu has always been considered to be a top tier with quite a number of people saying that Pikachu could be the best character in the game (which could be the second time that Pikachu is the best character in the game)
It would be cool to make Raichu the same as Pichu and Pikachu, only with even more devastatinly powerful hits, being a heavy this time around, and making a light, (Pichu) an all around, (Pikachu) and a heavy, (Raichu).
6:38 I agree honestly all the characters you have talked about so far in this series use the same final smash and I think the following final smash should be these Young Link: Deity Link where it’s would do the same but the lightning and triforces could be light blue and I think it would be appropriate if young link kept the Ocarina of time final smash since the last hit of the move is a reference to Oot Toon Link: it took me a few minutes to think since he has a lot of special moves especially from Hyrule warriors technically but I think the Hurricane spin is a good idea, using this final smash would have Toon Link charging for a second then start spinning around and you can control this final smash but you cannot fall of the stage or get pushed by let’s say Mario’s fludd with it the final smash would last about 6 seconds before toon link slowly stops spinning and does that dizzy thing from wind waker for a few seconds before returning to normal, don’t worry Toon Link will be invincible during the dizzy part Pikachu: the libre, the two Z moves and the Gigatmax move are all really good choices and I’m gonna use the 10000000 volt thunder bolt and Pikachu would be sent to the middle of the stage and it would start doing that dance for the move to activate and then Pikachu would jump in the middle of the air the start 24 thunder bolts and 6 at a time around the stage and any opponent that gets hit by it in the air gets meteor smashed oh and also the trainer could be Elio or Selene (forgive me if I’m saying it wrong it’s been a while since I touched sun and moon.) then Pikachu would just back flip to the center the stage Pichu: yeah Pichu could just use the same thing he uses in smash it makes sense and if you would like a different idea he could use the Electric Z move and just shoot a big electric shock in front of him and go a little bit farther then samus’s but it just one big thunder bolt and wouldn’t be used exactly like Samus’s. Dr. Mario: like in his games could throw 3 big pills up then they would come crashing straight down and it’s a better reference honestly Mario: god what hasn’t mr. Nintendo mascot been doing since brawl there are so many choices but I thought of this idea when I thought everyone was getter a better looking final smash before I knew a lot characters are gonna have the same once just used in the same motion as before, Mario would grab cappy and throw him forwards and only one opponent can get caught by cappy and it 65 damage for the final smash ball and 45 for the final smash meter and if the opponent is at 100 percent they would be automatically K.O. them like Zelda’s final smash. If I can think of any other idea for the other semi clone or clone characters I’ll edit this comment and these are just my opinions on what the final smashes could’ve been so take them with a grain of salt please Thanks for reading!
I just have to ask about why would the final smashes deal different damage depending on the smash orb or smash meter? Are there final smashes that do that?
Basically: -some moves are different - pichu is smaller - pichu damages itself - pichu is lighter - pichu has stronger moves - pichu is just better then pikachu Fite me
if Pichu wasn't as light as he would then he would have no problem being top 5 plus they nerf him mainly his side tilt it use to be plus and breaks sheild in 3 hits and his health
I feel like they made sure that previous clones that might've been considered Echo fighters (clones from 64, Melee, and Brawl) were differentiated enough to not be Echoes
even some Echo fighters like Ken, Dark Pit, and Chrom (and arguably Lucina) can easily be considered their own characters seeing as how different they are from the original fighters
@@hulkinglasses7174 Chrom and Ken are identical, so they should. Lucina, I don't really know, but I know their only difference is Marth's Tipper efdect, which Lucina doesn't have

@@calebalderete1 Basically that was the patch that greatly nerfed Pichu, an example is Pichu's F-Tilt. It used to be quick and killed at (I think) 110%. But after patch 3.1.0 Pichu's F-Tilt did more damage to himself and didn't even kill at 160%.

Both are great. I use Pikachu very often when I play Smash, because some of the moves can combo well. With Pichu, he is more like a close range of the two.
The difference between pikachu and pichu One bigger other smaller One fatter other thinner One stronger other weaker One takes damage doing attacked other doesn’t
@@plapin3538 I consider it balance between the damage it takes for extra effect. And technically lore wise, Pichu cannot use its power properly, causing it give too much. Like how a baby rattlesnake is more dangerous than a normal rattlesnake cause the baby will keep on giving you venom for as long as it can while the adult will give you set amount you need to leave it alone. IDK, just rambling at this point

Ness and lucas are the same but the opposite at the same time (if you look at Ness' moves,Lucas' moves work in the exact opposite way,for example multi-hits and 1 hits)
so basically Pikachu has more range and power than Pichu unless Pichu is using an electric attack. Makes sence since pichu can't control it's electricity it will release more than it needs to.
IM not going to delve too into it, but I like Pichu for the sole purpose of the "high-risk high reward" aspect. I think the self-damage while being a bad trait to have, makes Pichu more unique, and its balance pretty well with the damage output. Also, i also feel like Pichu's down air is easier to spike with. I don't know if that's a fact(with the hitboxes and stuff), but i definitely feel more comfortable with Pichu
I very much prefer and main pichu because his weaker moves, combined with his more vertical knockback, give him a far superior combo game. Plus, his faster falling speed alone makes him feel a lot faster
even though i'm aware of all their differences now and that their down airs can meteor smash, i sometimes use the down special instead if the opponent is at the right amount of height above me
(2:24) Sight nitpick. Pikachu does 15.7%, and Pichu does 16.8% with 1.5% self damage, meaning the net gain is 15.3% only. In this way, Pikachu has a higher damage net gain.
I hate that Pichu's Quick Attack still damages itself despite the fact that it doesn't damage the opponent and it's not even an electrical attack in the Pokemon games. It's so nonsensical.
If I recall, Pichu's Thunder won't hurt him if the attack is obstructed by a platform or done going forward or backwards while mobile. Only when the attack's lightning bolt makes impact on Pichu, will he deal damage to himself.
InProgressPokemon created Piachu, who could become a balanced version between these two characters if Piachu were to be existent, canon, and then playable in Smash Bros.

The main difference is that Pichu commits suicide in almost every stamina battle
Pikachu: winning is fun!
Pichu: suicide is badass!
That is correct

Ah yes my favorite Pokémon: pichuka
Wrong pichu can't kill itself in stamina it can only self harm
One dosent have it's own movie with Ryan Reynolds voicing it.

Its pichu
One has a "ka" and the other one doesn't

6:38 I agree honestly all the characters you have talked about so far in this series use the same final smash and I think the following final smash should be these
Young Link: Deity Link where it’s would do the same but the lightning and triforces could be light blue and I think it would be appropriate if young link kept the Ocarina of time final smash since the last hit of the move is a reference to Oot
Toon Link: it took me a few minutes to think since he has a lot of special moves especially from Hyrule warriors technically but I think the Hurricane spin is a good idea, using this final smash would have Toon Link charging for a second then start spinning around and you can control this final smash but you cannot fall of the stage or get pushed by let’s say Mario’s fludd with it the final smash would last about 6 seconds before toon link slowly stops spinning and does that dizzy thing from wind waker for a few seconds before returning to normal, don’t worry Toon Link will be invincible during the dizzy part
Pikachu: the libre, the two Z moves and the Gigatmax move are all really good choices and I’m gonna use the 10000000 volt thunder bolt and Pikachu would be sent to the middle of the stage and it would start doing that dance for the move to activate and then Pikachu would jump in the middle of the air the start 24 thunder bolts and 6 at a time around the stage and any opponent that gets hit by it in the air gets meteor smashed oh and also the trainer could be Elio or Selene (forgive me if I’m saying it wrong it’s been a while since I touched sun and moon.) then Pikachu would just back flip to the center the stage
Pichu: yeah Pichu could just use the same thing he uses in smash it makes sense and if you would like a different idea he could use the Electric Z move and just shoot a big electric shock in front of him and go a little bit farther then samus’s but it just one big thunder bolt and wouldn’t be used exactly like Samus’s.
Dr. Mario: like in his games could throw 3 big pills up then they would come crashing straight down and it’s a better reference honestly
Mario: god what hasn’t mr. Nintendo mascot been doing since brawl there are so many choices but I thought of this idea when I thought everyone was getter a better looking final smash before I knew a lot characters are gonna have the same once just used in the same motion as before, Mario would grab cappy and throw him forwards and only one opponent can get caught by cappy and it 65 damage for the final smash ball and 45 for the final smash meter and if the opponent is at 100 percent they would be automatically K.O. them like Zelda’s final smash.

That is pikachu libre best of the cosplay
Both are great. I use Pikachu very often when I play Smash, because some of the moves can combo well. With Pichu, he is more like a close range of the two.
I prefer Pichu
Here's the difference
One wasn't nerfed at all, and the other one was nerfed to all hell
The difference between pikachu and pichu
One bigger other smaller
One fatter other thinner
One stronger other weaker
One takes damage doing attacked other doesn’t
Ironically, pichu’s attacks are stronger. It.. doesn’t make sense.
@@plapin3538 I consider it balance between the damage it takes for extra effect. And technically lore wise, Pichu cannot use its power properly, causing it give too much. Like how a baby rattlesnake is more dangerous than a normal rattlesnake cause the baby will keep on giving you venom for as long as it can while the adult will give you set amount you need to leave it alone. IDK, just rambling at this point
Ness and lucas are the same but the opposite at the same time (if you look at Ness' moves,Lucas' moves work in the exact opposite way,for example multi-hits and 1 hits)
Actually on one of your videos I think it was the toon and young link difference i said if you can do Pichu and Pikachu
so basically Pikachu has more range and power than Pichu unless Pichu is using an electric attack. Makes sence since pichu can't control it's electricity it will release more than it needs to.
Next up: differences between Fox, Falco and Wolf.
Ben Huang
They’re so different that wouldn’t even work as a video
@Ben Huang I think just wolf and fox, they are pretty much the same
Wolf's neutral B is more spammable
Pichu’s f-tilt also trips at low percents
Pikachu for stamina and pichu for timed and stock
IM not going to delve too into it, but I like Pichu for the sole purpose of the "high-risk high reward" aspect. I think the self-damage while being a bad trait to have, makes Pichu more unique, and its balance pretty well with the damage output. Also, i also feel like Pichu's down air is easier to spike with. I don't know if that's a fact(with the hitboxes and stuff), but i definitely feel more comfortable with Pichu
Pichu is cuter.
Thats right tails
I very much prefer and main pichu because his weaker moves, combined with his more vertical knockback, give him a far superior combo game. Plus, his faster falling speed alone makes him feel a lot faster
yea
You forgot about pikachu’s up air having like 3 or 4 different hit boxes in different areas.
So I haven't watched the video yet, but the answer is simple. Pichu is the bestest cutest lil man, while Pikachu is the boring mascot! Duuuuuuuh.
*Love him or hate him, he is spitting facts*
What’s the difference between captain falcon and ganondorf
Alot of things
Wait... I thought they were the same character!
Anonymous Trash Ganon has a Sword now!
Pichu's recoil is a trade-off for being slightly stronger
You forgot about the grab pummel and throws
He says the grabs are almost the same while the pummels are like .1% difference
I don’t see why they didn’t put raichu in the game to so we can play all the evolutions
Pikachu more faster than Pichu??!! DAFAK
great video
Positive comments dude.
This is basically, “you want vanilla or chocolate” there moves look almost the same but they taste different.
I like Pichu more❤ because he is soooooo light charachter and he has the smallest hitbox🎉
I mean… Pichu can have a flower on his ear, and Pikachu doesn’t, so automatically Pichu wins right??
No
Dang ok
I think it is an apple blossom tbh, and yes
In other news we had to wait nearly 20 years for Raichu to even make an appearance in Super Smash Bros
Gannon and Captian Falcon
Ness and Lucas
Fox and Falco ( maybe wolf )
Isabelle and Villiger
That's what came to my mind
Lol mario gets bullied like crazy in each summary video
Dont you mean the difference between the yellow paper shaped like a mouse and the yellow paper shaped like a mouse but this time it hurts itself
Finally, One of my favourite TH-camr makes a video about my Main. (Pikachu)
Thank you so much for doing this video!!!
I wish raichu was in smash so we would have a full pika family
Characters like Pichu and Pikachu deserve to be S-Tier just because of how technical and high risk they are.
One is good
The other is suicidal
I’m a Pichu main but Pikachu’s lack of self damage is nice
Pichu is my 7 most used character (Pikachu isn’t in my 6 most used)
And I managed to get a higher distance with pichu than pikachu in home run contest
WHATS THE DIFFERENCE? Me:Their age
They should've called Pichu's side B Wild Charge. Not only is it an actual Electric-Type move, it also does recoil in the main Pokémon games.
even though i'm aware of all their differences now and that their down airs can meteor smash, i sometimes use the down special instead if the opponent is at the right amount of height above me
I just say he's baby Pikachu
(2:24) Sight nitpick. Pikachu does 15.7%, and Pichu does 16.8% with 1.5% self damage, meaning the net gain is 15.3% only. In this way, Pikachu has a higher damage net gain.
Don't worry no pikachus were hurt in the making of this video but I can't say the same for pichu
I hate that Pichu's Quick Attack still damages itself despite the fact that it doesn't damage the opponent and it's not even an electrical attack in the Pokemon games. It's so nonsensical.
Pichu forward tilt can trip if opponent hasn’t taken much damage
A perfect prank for what’s the difference in April’s fools day is what’s the difference with (insert any echo fighter here) and there you go
Ken actually has differences but he could do like olimar and alph or bowser jr and the rest of the koopalings
If I recall, Pichu's Thunder won't hurt him if the attack is obstructed by a platform or done going forward or backwards while mobile. Only when the attack's lightning bolt makes impact on Pichu, will he deal damage to himself.
I already knew why Pikachu and Pichu weren't Echo fighters, but what I don't know is WHY ARE RYU AND KEN ECHOS!?
InProgressPokemon created Piachu, who could become a balanced version between these two characters if Piachu were to be existent, canon, and then playable in Smash Bros.
Melee Pikachu Nair < Pichu Nair < Melee Pichu Nair < Pikachu Nair
Ok just a note
Pichu’s Up Special send farther but Pikachu has a better horizontal recovery because of Side Special
Ok thanks, see ya
Pichu is the true gamer
I wish they made Riachu instead of Pichu.
